False lashes come in a variety of shapes and volumes, with each needing a different approach. I would like to share my experience with you and tell you which types of false eyelashes I used to work with. I'll also reveal the types of lashes I currently like working with the most, but I won't leave out the ones that still give me a bit of trouble.
I used to only work with individual lashes, so when I wanted to do volume lashes, I had to create each fan myself. I read somewhere in reviews that if you use ready-made fans, you're doing a lazy job. Later, after one course, I found out that this was not true, I started using ready-made fans and to this day I still use them the most out of all the types. I especially enjoy the ones from Lashes PRO because they are high quality and the lashes always look incredibly beautiful with them, they last a long time, and most importantly, they don't destroy the natural lashes.
Best false lashes for beginner lash artists
I think it's best for beginners to learn how to work with classic lashes first, as they are easier to pick up and glue. However, there are also beginner lash stylists who are good at applying volumizing lashes right away, so which type to use is matter of your skill. The biggest difference between the two is how you pick up the lashes. It also depends on the tweezers you use - angled tweezers are better for volumizing lashes, while less angled one will do for classic lashes.

My favorite volume lashes
As I noted above, I love volume lashes, but they're not always applicable. That's why I really enjoy working with the new volume lashes from Lashes PRO. I'm glad they've expanded the range to include these. In fact, to create some of the styles I'll be teaching on the two-day Stay TRENDING! course, you need to be able to make your own fans.
MY TIP: Easy fan lashes are suitable for creating incredible volume
My long time favourite are the 5D Narrow fans, which can conjure up a perfectly elegant look.
False lashes I find more challenging to apply
I'm not an expert about everything either and I have to admit that I have trouble picking up and gluing on volume lashes above 8D. Such fans are already too big for me and I feel unstable when applying them. But it's also due to the fact that mega volumes are not my style and I don't pay much attention to them.
